Simple Application Rules for Applying Line Reactors with Variable Frequency Drives

April 7, 2020

This webinar (Friday April 17, 2020 at 11:00am – 12:00pm EDT) will review simple and easily applied criteria used to select line reactors for use on the line and load sides of Variable Frequency Drives. VFD’s are an important device in many critical commercial and industrial applications. Line reactors are a economical tool which can both protect your investment in the VFD and motor and maintain critical processes. In addition, line reactors can mitigate the power quality system effects which occur due to the current harmonics which the VFD creates. Proper selection of the line reactor will best protect your investments from damage and processes from interruption.
